INTRODUCTION
Before using the light, please thoroughly read this manual and keep it for future
reference.
Thank you for purchasing the CATEYE DOUBLE SHOT HL-EL 710RC. The Double Shot light uses high-power
white LEDs, and has a much longer operating life than other high-power rechargeable systems.
FOR SAFE OPERATION
Never short-circuit the terminals of the battery unit or the battery charger. It may cause the unit to
overheat, resulting in fire or damage to the component.
Securely connect the plug so that the cable will not come unplugged or hinder your riding.
Never use damaged components (e.g., cables, etc.). Send any damaged components to our customer
service department for repair.
The light unit may become extremely hot when on or immediately after it is turned off. Please use
with caution.
Do not place it within children’s reach.
We recommend carrying a flashlight or spare battery unit with you in case the main battery dies.
Charge the battery unit before using because the unit self-discharges over time, decreasing its voltage.
Do not leave the battery overly discharged because it shortens the operating life of the battery. Try to
charge the battery unit after each use. (“Overly discharged” refers to the state the battery is in when
used over a period of time while below the specified cutoff voltage.)
If the lamp body or parts become dirty with mud, etc., clean with a soft cloth which is moistened with
mild soap. Never apply paint thinner, benzine or alcohol; damage will result.
Place the battery unit at least 10 cm away from any wireless meter, as transmitting and receiving
performance may be adversely affected.
Never disassemble the light unit, battery unit, or battery charger.
This product is water-resistant under normal weather conditions of rain, etc. However, do not
intentionally submerge it in water or allow rainwater to enter the battery bag.
Before Initial Use
The battery is shipped with a small charge, that is used to test the unit at the factory. As such, it is
necessary to charge the battery before initial use. (Refer to the “How to Charge” section in this manual.)

HOW TO MOUNT TO A BICYCLE
Installing the bracket/light unit
Attach bracket H31 or H32 to the handlebar.
NOTE: Select H31 for oversized handlebars.
1. Mount a rubber pad and the bracket onto the handlebar. 2 thicknesses of
rubber pads are supplied; if necessary, cut the rubber pad to fit.
2. Tighten and then close the lever to secure it. Make sure the bracket does not
rotate on the handlebar.
CAUTION!: Be sure to adjust the angle of the lights beam by referring to the
How to Adjust Beam Angle section in this manual before operat-
ing the lighting system.
3. Mount the light unit onto the bracket.
To remove unit after use, pull it out while pressing the button on the bracket.
CAUTION!: Make sure the light unit is cool to the touch before removing it.
Installing Battery Unit
Mount the battery unit on the bicycle frame.
Before using the light, make sure the battery is correctly stored in its neoprene
bag.
CAUTION!: When mounting the unit, make sure that the seam of the battery bag is
facing down and the fold line is in front. Wind the fixing strap around
the center of the battery unit.
1. Wrap the fixing strap around the top tube to secure the unit.
CAUTION!: Wrap the strap over the top tube but under the gear and brake cables.
Wrapping the strap over the cables is dangerous as it may interfere
with braking and gear shifting.
2. Use the support strap to secure the battery unit to the down tube to prevent
it from rolling.
NOTE: The battery can also be mounted on alternate positions on the bicycle.
However, please make sure that the seam of the battery bag is facing
down, and the fold line is in front. This will help prevent any water from
entering the bag.
Connecting and Securing Cables
Align the male and female cable ends and connect them. Turn the plugs so that
they are securely locked. Fix the cables to your frame and/or stem to keep them
secured.
CAUTION!: Pay attention to the arrangement of the cable so that it does not inter-
fere with the handling of the bicycle. Do not secure the cable at an
acute angle because the wire inside the cable may break.

Do not completely remove the battery unit from the battery bag.
After charging, return the battery to its original storage state. Do not allow water to enter the battery bag.
The standard charging time and run time are guideline values and depend on the operating environment.
If the battery unit repeatedly does not meet the proper run time even though it is fully charged, it
might be at the end of its operating life. Replace the old battery unit with a new one. The used
battery unit should be disposed of properly according to local regulations.
1. Remove the support strap from the battery bag and open the bag.
2. Connect the jack to the battery charger.
3. Plug the battery charger to an AC outlet.
NOTE: When charging is complete, the indicator light changes from flashing red to green.
4. When charging is complete, unplug the charging adapter. Refer to the diagrams on the left to rearrange
the cable and use the seal strap to tightly close the opening.
CAUTION!: When securing the battery to the frame, make sure the fixing strap attaches to the center of the
battery unit.
How to Store Battery Unit
The battery unit is stored in its bag as shown in the figure. In case the battery unit is out of its bag, be
sure to return it to its original state. Failure to follow these instructions may result in rainwater entering
